'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.

LETTER TO GOD

.

AN ACT OF KINDNESS

.

A Post Office worker at the main sorting office finds an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope addressed to God. He opens it and discovers it is from an elderly lady, distressed because some thief robbed her of 100 euro. She will be cold and hungry for the rest of the month if she doesn't receive some divine intervention.The worker organizes a collection amongst the other postal workers, who dig deep and come up with 96 euro. They get it to her by special courier the same morning.A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same hand on another envelope. He opens it and reads: "Dear God, Thank you for the 100 euro. This month would have been so bleak otherwise. P.S. It was four euro short but that was probably those thieving b******s at the Post Office."
